What Do You See? - by Barney Saltzberg (Hardcover)

About the Book

Two friends like using their imaginations. One friend takes photographs of things--a seagull or noodles spilled on the floor--and sends them to her friend. He adds drawings that change the picture into something new. Sometimes the friends imagine the same things; sometimes they don't. But they always like being able to see what the other one sees.

Book Synopsis

How creatively do you see things?

She took photographs of things she loved and sent them to him. He drew pictures on her photographs of things he saw and sent them back to her.

Real-life friends Barney Saltzberg and Jamie Lee Curtis (Just One More Sleep, 2024) share their fun, funny, and imaginative creations, encouraging readers to find their own unique perspectives lurking in puddles and noodles, fruit and flowers. This project was born out of a school visit where Jamie complimented Barney's creativity, lamenting her own inability to draw . . . and Barney countered that everyone is creative in their own way. They joined forces to create a book that is sure to inspire kids of all ages.

Review Quotes

"While the varied visuals offer craft-time fun, it's the friends' interplay--and how they concur and diverge in their ideas--that makes the concept feel fresh."--Publisher's Weekly
